Three months ago I discovered a lump in my breast (along with 2 swollen lymphoids). My initial thought was, "Ok, I must have pulled a muscle." So I treated my "pulled muscle" with Aleve and a heating pad.
Eventually, I asked Rahien to feel this "knot" on the side of my breast. Sure enough his response was, “yep there's a lump, you need to go to the doctor.”
I must admit that I was a little reluctant to go to the doctor. I just thought that I had over extended myself, but with Rahien’s encouragement I scheduled an appointment for the next day.
So I went to the doctor's office where my doctor verified the lump. From that day on I have been overwhelmed with tests (a mammogram, biopsy, genetic, PET scan, etc.) and doctor’s appointments.
I have been so busy with work, school and doctor’s appointments that I haven’t really had time to digest what is going on with my body. I don’t think that being diagnosed with breast cancer has really hit me yet.
Phillipians , 13 states, “For I have learned, whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Therefore, I strongly believe that this is just another test of my faith and that I am going to beat this.
I sincerely appreciate all of your support and prayers during the last few weeks. I am so blessed to have an awesome husband, a great family, and good friends. I will continue to keep you up dated on my journey.
